New Movie Casting Speculation Thread

[He-Jutsu]

That's doesn't scream He-man.

Then what do you think he's screaming?

Here, try this one:

If they don't put Blade and Saurod in a new movie, I say they cast Anthony DeLongis as Tri-Klops, and Pons Maar as Mer-Man.

AGREED! It always seemed to me that "Blade" and "Saurod" were meant to be Tri-Klops, and Mer-Man anyway. Blade even had an "eye issue" that I always wondered about. Was it meant as a subtle, humorous, nod to the 3 eyes of Tri-Klops? Saurod was reptilian, and Mer-Man is very amphibious. Is isn't uncommon to confuse those two species. Just ask the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

How about Chris Tucker for He-Man?



Hear me out on this one. First of all, The Masters of the Universe has always been a particularly white franchise. This would be a perfect opportunity to inject some multiculturalism into the film--and what better way to make a statement on the aspect of race than by making the lead character black?

Now, look at that picture from The 5th Element. We KNOW Chris tucker can pull off blond because of his hair in that movie. And He-Man HAS to be blond, so I think Chris Tucker might be one of the few black people who would just look perfect in that part.

Before you criticize my choice, ask yourself whether you really believe that he's a bad candidate for the role, or whether your own racial prejudices are preventing you from seeing why he is the man for the job.

Oh, and don't forget the voice!

This is quite obviously a goof. Very entertaining indeed.

Why not just use Anthony DeLongis again as Blade? He is still active in the industry, and his sword skills are even sharper then they were 24 years ago. He is also a master with the whip and with throwing weapons. Since he was a secondary character in the original film, I don't see why they couldn't just cast him again. They could even change the look of his character to make him seem like a whole new character all together. Same goes for Pons Maar as Saurod, who has even said that he would work on another MOTU project if he was asked.

If they don't put Blade and Saurod in a new movie, I say they cast Anthony as Tri-Klops, and Pons Maar as Mer-Man.

I agree, but it defeated the object (for me at least) to produce a fantasy cast that's either already been done, or already suggested.

If you are gonna try to be clever and or funny around here, then I suggest you work on your delivery.
Don't appreciate you goading folks into some sort of racial debate be it a joke or not.

Yeah, I see, because you're a little slow on the uptake?

Geeze, it's a thread on an internet forum where fans can discuss He-Man casting picks for a movie that probably won't even happen at this point. Was that really your definition of a "radical debate"? Lighten up.

[PIMPS ADAM]

"By the Power of Grayskull". Can't we all just get along? Besides everytime I see this thread I open it hoping to see some cool casting ideas and that's all. Thanks.

[Eamon]

It could be me being slow.
Or maybe it was just a complete miss fire on your part.

That's all well and good and folks are welcome to suggest anybody they want.
But I have to wonder why you went on to say "ask yourself whether you really believe that he's a bad candidate for the role, or whether your own racial prejudices are preventing you from seeing why he is the man for the job."?

Now weather it' me being a dimwit or weather it's you trying to be funny, either way it's a very miss placed remark to come out with on a thread such as this.

Can we accept that is the case and just move on please?!

Believe it or not my post wasn't actually directed at you specifically, so there's no need to take personal offense. Otherwise, I would have said, "ask yourself whether you really believe that he's a bad candidate for the role, or whether your own racial prejudices are preventing you from seeing why he is the man for the job, Eamon." Nobody's calling you a racist.

Now weather it' me being a dimwit or weather it's you trying to be funny, either way it's a very miss placed remark to come out with on a thread such as this.

You mean one dealing with such a serious, important topic? Or one where there have been so many accusations of racism flying around?

Can we accept that is the case and just move on please?!

I agree that at this point we should just move on.

[Eamon]

Groovey!

[Midwinter]

He-Jutsu - I totally thought you were joking at first. Forgive my cutting his suit in to a loin cloth comment.

I can definitely say I am not racist and I would still go see a MOTU movie if He-Man was any race under the sun, but Chris Tucker with Blonde hair.... that seems almost racist.

Ah, irony is a cruel mistress!

I've been watching the Fifth Element makings over the last few knights and saw that she got that song on the very first take.
One of my all time favourite movies.

[ian_highful]

He-Man- Justin Hartley? Or maybe an unkown? I still can’t think of anyone that fits.

Skeletor- Alexander Skarsgård

Teela - Evan Rachel Wood

Evil-Lyn- Summer Glau

Man-at-Arms- Tom Selleck

The Sorceress- Nicole Kidman

Beastman- Gerard Butler

Prince Adam- Chase Crawford

King Randor- Liam Neeson

Queen Marlena- Kate Beckinsale

Orko- Lou Scheimer or Gabe Khouth (voice for CGI character…as a nod to the original or 200X series)

[heavy-eternium]

Here are some options

Morena Baccarin from V, my perfect evil-lyn



Michael Biehn: man-at-arms. he is the man for that role



Djimon Hounsou: Zodak

[Eamon]

Djimon Hounsou can be anything he wants on the MOTU as he is just the awesome.

I like Michael Biehn as MAA and although Morena Baccarin is great I do not see her as Evil Lyn. She's just too sweet looking. That's why she works so well in V in think. Friendly but deadly. I think Evil Lyn needs to look evil and deadly and a hot of course.

Blonde from V would be great for Sorceress I think!

[heavy-eternium]

yes, hounsuo is a great actor and could play any role.

about evil-lyn, I think it will be a great challenge plays this role for any actress.

if the writers want a he-man not so big and muscular, how about jared padalecki(supernatural) as he-man?
he was candidate to play conan

[Fellow Eternian]

I think Angelina Jolie as Evil Lyn would be good. I agree with that as for Orko I think they should get Lou Scheimer to reprise the role as a nice knock back to us loyal fans. For Teela why not Renee o'Connor from Xena. She knows her way around a staff. She would need next to no training. Tom Selleck I think would be too old for the role of Man at Arms. Gerard Butler would make a good Stratos I think. Robert Mccray not sure if that is the right way to spell it or not, he was Zzeben in Conan the Adventure, would make a good He-Man I think. He would just have*shudders* shave his chest and buff up again.

Please... no Orko!

[Lion-O]

Not sure Michael Biehn's really "gruff" enough for Man-At-Arms.

Chris Hemsworth is looking very He-Man-ish in the latest Thor picture -



But I doubt we'd get him as He-Man, not when he's gonna be busy making Thor sequels and the Avengers.

[Teela-Na]

Well he won't always be making Thor or the Avengers all year round, so he could play He-Man. We don't know when production on the new MOTU movie will start anyway. Hemsworth is still fairly young so even in 4 years time, he will still be the right age for the most powerful man in the universe.

I want to see how he is in Thor first anyway. He may being his A-game to it but based on the 2 movies I've already seen him in, I find him to be a very poor actor.

I guess the real question then is: will he want to play another big blonde super strong hero in a loose sci-fi-fantasy setting? Or will he want to devote his non-Thor/Avenger time to art house indie flicks that will supposedly challenge him but probably not get a wide release?
